Whats the best way to do it? thanks

I use Mequier's Mirror Glaze #10 and #17. Works great. They also have one called PlastX that is both a cleaner and a polish.

I like a product called Plexxus for day to day cleaning. You can get it online and at West Marine.

Like bodywork, it's a step-by step process, with increasingly finer abrasives. Read the polish manufacturer's directions, follow them to the tee, and things will literally look better...

Micromesh for sure. I had quite a few scratches and deep crazing on my poly canopy. Followed the steps and good as new. Alot of work though.

I have no idea what it was called, but if you can get the military hook up.. Several years ago a friend of mine gave me a quart can of mil-spec 'plastic' polish. He painted planes on north island and it was used for canopies. The stuffwas aboslute magic, was really watery, but put some on an old sock and it did miracles.

What kind of lexan would this be? Thanks

Lexan is much harder than acrylic and much different to polish. That's why the F-16 canopies are a multi-layer laminate. You also have to be careful about spot polishing- especially on a curved surface. You can put a funky little optical wa-wa in it. That can be distracting if it's in a spot you are looking through all the time.

Thanks. I think I am better off replacing it entirely.
